Viewers of Manchester City‘s meeting with Watford tonight highlighted one Citizens star’s display in particular as worthy of the “world’s best” label.
City cruise
Pep Guardiola’s men returned to action not long ago.
After seeing Chelsea slide into a shock 3-2 defeat at West Ham earlier today, City traveled to Vicarage Road knowing a win would put them back atop the Premier League table.
And, in the end, cementing themselves as the team to beat this season is precisely what the Sky Blues have achieved.
A predictable dominant performance, in which the score could easily have taken on a much more convincing appearance, ultimately resulted in a comfortable 3-1 victory for City.
The star of the show at Vicarage Road? Bernardo Silva.
Portugal international Silva, who has of course been in a hurry for a Manchester departure over the summer, has rediscovered his sumptuous best of late, with a superb brace on Saturday having seen the former Monaco claim, behind may -be Mo Salah, the fittest player in the Premier League today:

Bilva the best in the world?
And, if the ensuing reaction on social media is obvious, then obviously Silva’s dazzling latest performance hasn’t gone unnoticed by those watching from home.
In fact, as noted below, many have gone so far as to suggest that the Portuguese is not only the best in his position in world football right now, but, all in all, the best player in the world. planet:
